button to possibly execute scripts in the data load editor
I was trying to implement the direct query for my apps for users to gain real time data. This was problematic as I could not go beyond adding more than 1 dimension, on top of some other limitations such as prohibiting from using set analysis, global search disabled, etc.
I thought another work around would be to create a button and have a script to execute upon a user clicking on the button. The script is pretty much a simple one that will regenerate the qvd's we're going against. I know we can use the schedulers/tasks in the QMC but our users tend to get a bit antsy and would love to see this feature on the front end, although the tasks are executing by themselves on the back end. We don't want users to go into the script itself and load data again, we pretty much want the schedulers/tasks to be shown on the actual app so users can say "Oh, we can refresh the data, etc etc"
I saw this extension below but wasn't sure how this is even being configured. If anyone has any ideas on this workaround that would be awesome or any type of other solutions!
Did a quick test on my desktop environment and looks like this button is executing exactly how it states. The only problem I see with this is that this extension is not supported by Qlik and could essentially break my application.
